Common loft jobs in Wantage

34% of households in Wantage live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.

20% of households in Wantage live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

Loft insulation in Wantage: questions

What kind of homes are there in Wantage?

At the 2021 Census, 34% of households in Wantage lived in semi-detached houses, 24% in detached houses, 21% in flats and 20% in terraced houses.

I live just outside Wantage. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Didcot, Abingdon-on-Thames, Carterton, Oxford and Newbury. See every town we list in Oxfordshire.

Will I lose my loft storage?

Not necessarily. Raised boarding sits on supports above the insulation, so the insulation keeps its full depth and you keep somewhere to store things.

How long does the work take?

A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.

How deep should loft insulation be?

For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.

I rent my home in Wantage. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
